Fall 2025 - All the material needed is provided. There is no cold calls, who ever wants to talk, talks but she LOVES when people engage in class. She does attendance and participation for the week with a quick write, the mid term is a paper and your final is a paper that she will let you work on from the beginning of the quater. Use office ours to get help with your writing, it is worth it. Very easy class.
